I think it's lovely but then I was crucified by some Americans at a wedding for wearing a cream base dress COVERED in red flowers. They didn't want even a base with white or cream

I'm curious to know what form this 'crucifixion' took but how incredibly rude of them

no, it wouldn’t have outshone my wedding dress 🙄
I think the etiquette is important. It isn’t about being confused with the bride but about showing respect not to wear a white / cream base

It’s clearly not going to get you confused with the bride or outshine them, and it’s a floral dress not a white dress so no problem at all. If you wore that to my wedding I’d have no issues

The first rule of good etiquette is not making other people uncomfortable - judgy looks let alone 'crucifixion' would be far worse breaches than any sartorial misjudgment (not that this is one).

@ErrolTheDragon I’d judge silently and covertly of course. No pointing and staring. I would think it though.

Beautiful dress absolutely fine for a wedding.

Americans are weird. No-one is going to confuse a floral pattern dress with a white or cream base colour as a wedding dress.

I suppose my point is it all depends on the sensitivities of the bride. I thought the critique of me (directly to me at the wedding I might add) was stupid and said as much while also curiously noting this is something that offends. My own sister wore a white lace dress with a silver bomber jacket to my wedding. This amused me when I eventually did notice, and was entirely in keeping with her character. But I was so obviously the bride, plus I'm less offended by this sort of stuff.

Not sure about camel colour with the dress (which is lovely!). I'd go either white or navy, or something contrasting like pink or orange?

No.
That bag has far too many disparate design features going on (wicker, 'cane' handle, big gold coloured clasp, blingy chain strap. TBH I don't think it goes with itself, and would distract and detract from a pretty patterned dress.
